Aspen & Spur

Aspen & Spur are a huge part of the Hearts & Hooves Livestock Services Staff!

You will always see them in the truck with Stephanie, and they are happy to meet and greet everyone that wants to say hi!

Aspen is a 3 yr old mini Australian Shepherd born in Pagosa Springs, CO. She LOVES horses, hiking, and swimming.

Spur is just a pup! He is less than a year old and his biggest passion is meeting new friends! He was also born in Pagosa Springs, CO.

These two are the emotional support group of Hearts & Hooves and they are always there to give you all the love you need during these tough times. Feel free to give them both a huge hug and pet them until they put a smile on your face : ]
